The initial contract term is twelve months from the Notice to Proceed, with options to extend for two additional one-year periods by mutual agreement subject to Board approval. Price increases during extension periods are limited to the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Consumer Price Index for non-labor costs. Long Beach Utilities Department reserves the right to purchase varying quantities based on actual needs without guaranteeing total usage and without minimum order requirements.
